New update messed up my tablet

So I was rooted, received and installed the latest update (I knew this was a mistake) and now the tablet is frozen. When I unlock the start screen, the Nexus cross comes up and then it goes back to the lock screen. I hooked it up to the Nexus Toolkit and when I try and reroot the tablet, it says that it cannot find ADB.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dennis

You may be able to boot into stock Android recovery, and select "wipe factory data" or "factory data reset" to fix it. That's going to wipe your apps/data too, just an FYI.

I am by no means an expert, but I would think you could get the original image for your tablet by looking here. If you have the Windows drivers properly installed on your computer (also available at that link), then you should be able to use ODIN to restore your tablet to stock. After that, reapply any updates if you find any, and then re-root your device.

This has worked for me (more often than I would care to mention) on literally every other Android device, so I can't see why it would not work here.

Good luck...
